Effective Monday, October 31, sachet water will be sold at $0.60. The 500ml bottled water will also be retailed at ¢2.50 while the medium-sized bottled water will go for $3.50 and the 1.5 litres bottled water will sell at $5.
This was contained in a statement on Thursday, October 27, by the National Association of Sachet and Packaged Water Producers. The new prices, the Association says are due to the continuous increases in the cost of production inputs as a result of the depreciation of the cedi against the major trading currencies.
“The National Executive Committee of the National Association of Sachet and Packaged Water Producers
(NASPAWAP) therefore recommends the following price reviews of bottled and sachet water. These reviews serve as a guide to all Regional associations to ensure uniformity across the country,” they noted in a statement.
